Meet Ash, the charming feline who has found his forever home right here in Lakewood. His journey from being an unexpected school visitor to becoming a treasured member of a loving household is a tale of fate and friendship.

Ash's story began under the school where Bob, his owner, teaches in Pleasant Grove. Every day, he emerged from beneath the building, playfully shaking off the "ash" and dust that clung to him. His persistent presence and yearning for attention caught the eye and compassion of his future owner. One day, Bob decided to bring him home, giving him the affection and care he had been seeking.

The decision to adopt Ash wasn't an easy one, but it turned out to be serendipitous. Unchipped and without anyone looking for him, Ash found his forever home. His sweet disposition quickly won Bob over, and Ash settled into his new life with ease.

Ash's name is a perfect match for his story. Derived from the very act he performed daily—shaking off the "ash" and dust—his name also reflects his sleek, ash-colored fur. Beyond his name, Ash has a unique talent for sitting by the window, watching the world outside with keen interest.

What his owner loves most about Ash is his sweet nature and his love for human attention. Whether he's perched by the window or nestled in her lap, Ash's presence is a constant source of comfort and companionship.

Ash's playful spirit also made him quite popular at the school where he was first discovered. Timing his appearances with school dismissal, he would lie in the doorway, basking in the attention and adoration of the children.

Today, Ash's life is a testament to unexpected connections and the joy that comes from opening one's heart to a furry friend. He may have started as the school's enigmatic visitor, but Ash has transformed into a beloved member of the Lakewood community. With his endearing ways and gentle personality, Ash reminds us that sometimes, the best companions find us when we least expect it.
